California residents who are members of federally recognized Native tribes will have their tuition and fees at University of California schools waived, according to a letter sent Friday.
"The University of California is committed to recognizing and acknowledging historical wrongs endured by Native Americans," Drake wrote."I am hopeful that this new program will benefit our students and continue to position the University of California as the institution of choice for Native American students."
For California residents of non-federally recognized tribes, tuition scholarships will be made available at a later date, Drake said.
